-PUBLIC KICKS AS
TRAMWAY FARES
GO UP IN LONDON
More Than a Hundred Per
Cent. Increase in Sub
urban Districts
London, July 11.—The question
of the increase in the tramway
fares and also those of the motor
omnibuses has caused widespread
discontent here lately. In some in
stances the fares in London and the
suburban district*! have been raised
k more than one hundred per cent.
™ over those charged in pre-war days.
The result has been that public
opinion has been worked up to such
an extent that nearly every day

the House of Commons and depu
tations are frequently seeking in
terviews with the London County
Council and the omnibus companies
concerned.
The first step toward the in
crease was the abolition of the half
I penny fare and latterly the reduc
tion of the distances which could
be traversed for the penny fare.
The companies declare that the
increase is necessary to meet the
extra expenses which have occurred
by the workmen's demands for
shorter hours and more pay. The
! public alleges that the additional
• cost of running is made up by the
[ extra fares taken since hostilities
\ ended.
• An interesting sidelight on this
. is provided by the accounts of the
J Glasgow Corporation Tramways in
J the next largest city to Ixtndon. The
year that has Just closed has proved
] a record for the city. Prior to the
I war the fares were the cheapest in
i the country and have since been
j maintained as before. The revenue
| for fares for the year 1918-19 to-
I tale.d 1,900,000 pounds, an increase
lof 12 8,000 pounds over the year
1917-18. The number of passengers
! carried increased bv over 33,000.-
000. It is stated in the report that
sixty per cent, of the increase came
i from the halfpenny fares.
Sees Huge Advance in
Costs of Railroads
Xew York, July 11.—It is esti
. mated that the cost of operating the
i railroads during this year, providing
expenses for the entire twelve months
I are on a par with those of the
first four, will exceed the 1917 ex
penses by $1,600,000,000. This 'is
! a deduction made by the Railway
1 Age, which asserts that operating
expenses are runr.*ing $740,000,000
a year more than the estimate made
by William G. McAdoo when he made
the big advances in freight and pas
senger rates something over a year
' ago.
DEVELOPMENT OF
SCHOOL SYSTEM
IS EXPLAINED
University Plan Favored by
School Directors at Hill
Mass Meeting
Proposals for high school devel
opment on the university plan were
discussed by members of the city
school board who attended the pub
lic meeting last night at the Mount
Pleasant enginehouse. Thirteenth
and Howard streets, which was held
to give citizens of Allison Hill and
other districts of the city an oppor
tunity to consider the situation.
President Robert A. Enders, and
Directors A. Carson Stamm. Harry
i A. Boyer and Dr. E. L. Keen were
j present at the meeting. The Rev.
! Dr. William N. Yates, former school
director, presided and introduced
i the members of the board who at
i tended. Dr. P. E. Downes, superin
| tendent, and D. D. Hammelbaugh,
j secretary, were present also. Dr.
: Downes told of the school program
I for Hurrisburg, and Secretary Ham
melbaugh explained the financial sit
uation of the district.
Other Sites Suggested
After outlining the university plan
' for a high school which he said
would include erection of buildings
for instruction in liberal arts, man
ual training, a gymnasium, athletic
field and stadium. President Enders
spoke of other possible sites, whien
might be avnilablc and compared
them with the one which has been
purchased—3s acres of the Hoff
man's Woods and Italian Park
tract. He declared that the
Italian Park purchase was the best
for the district from a financial and
economic viewpoint for developing
the university plan, which he fa
vored and to provide space for fu
ture growth of the city.
Among the sites which were men
tioned were the following: Silk
mill site. Front and North streets:
North and Cowden streets: Copelin
plot at Thirteenth and Calder streets,
and the present location of the Cen
tral High School, all of which Mr.
Enders said could not be used be
cause of financial reasons, either be
cause of prohibitive price or lack of
sufficient ground for the amount of
money spent and to provide for the
needs of the district.
Two Schools Expensive
President Enders also said he was
not in favor of having a high school
uptown and one on the Hill because
it would mean additional expense
for maintenance, which could be
avoided with the adoption of the
university plan.
Director Boyer called attention to |
the resolution passed by the school |
board which said that the site %'as >
purchased for "school purposes" and '
if not desired for a high school could '
be used for the needs of the Fur- I
teenth ward. He said that he con- I
I sidered it a good purchase.
Mr. Stamm discussed the other
possible sites in much the same
manner as President Enders, except
that he disagreed on the statement
made by the president that the silk
mill location probably could not be
purchased, Mr. Stamm stating he i
believed it might be bought but the i
price would be too high.
Xo Hill Site
Director Keen told of his search
on Allison Hill for a possible site
and said that he could not find any
that would be satisfactory. There
was little comment made by the
residents of the Hill who were pres
ent, numbering more than 60.
Dr. Yates said he was opposed to
the Italian Park site because of the
distance and the cost to families on
Allison Hill who would be compelled
to send their children to the school |
by trolley. He said that walking to
the school would be out of the ques
tion during much of the school year, |
and then argued in favor of pur- j
chasing a site facing Capitol Park. I
No vote was taken during the j
meeting although a suggestion was :
made that this should be done.

chatter. Six years ago when the
1 new form of government went into
J power the reorganization put out of
| office men who had devoted years
| of work in the interest of the city, 1
! bringing about big improvements
| and saving much money, many of
; them serving the municipality with
out charge.
None of the officials was respon
sible to any party, although they re
tained their party affiliation to the
extent that they sought the favor of
the party organization, either Re
publican or Democratic.
The water department funds
in Harrisburg have been appro
priated during the last few years
for general revenue to meet the
rapidly increasing expense of city
government. Instead of ailawing
the cash reserve earnings of the
water department in one year
to go into the water reserve fund as
had beeh done in past years, this
money was turned into the treasury
and used as general revenue. To
day the water department reserve
fund is without a large cash balance.
It does have thousands of dollars
invested in bonds, but the cash re
sources available amount to less
than SI,OOO.
Party Alignments
Voters have not forgotten the
councilmanic tights of the first two
years of non-partisan government
In Harrisburg. Almost invariably on
an important issue the vote was 3
to 2, with the Republicans on one
side and the Democrats on the other.
In casting ballots at the polls the
voters of the city in practically every
instance knew the party affiliation
of the candidates whose chances of
election were the best.
Six years ago the first non-parti
san Council was composed of three
Republicans and two Democrats,
the next one of four Republicans and
and one Democrat, and the present
one of five Republicans. Two years
ago in the contest for Mayor, two
Republicans and a Democrat on the
non-partisan ticket were before the
public at the primaries. The two
Republicans were nominated, a con
dition which had never developed
before in city politics.
In every instance individuals were
elected to office to take charge of
city affairs who were responsible to
no one but themselves, who had no
group of interest and capable men
to advise them and help them In
their work and who resorted only
to the advice of ttiese men in case of
a serious emergency such as the one
which developed less than two yeurs
ago when a water famine almost de
veloped.

to this district by the Federal ad
ministration for handling soldiers

Outing For Reading Vets
to Be Cut Out This Summer
Veteran employes of the Reading
are discussing a report that the an
nual outing is to be cut out this year.
The Pottsville Republican prints the
following:
"The annual outing held by the
Veteran Association of the Philadel
phia and Reading Company, each
Fall Is to be eliminated this year,
owing to the Government ruling to
cut down every unnecessary excur
sion and outing, where it takes train
service. The outing which is usual
ly attended by upwards of 1,200 vet
erans of the company, who are or
were in service of the company 25
years or more is looked forward to by
many of these veterans as their only
outing and social gathering each
| year, and it la with a keen sense of
disappointment that they will learn
of the calling off of this annual af
fair.
"There are over 150 from this sec
tion of the county in the association
which has 1.800 members or more
and it will be a hard blow to them
to learn that there is to be no outing
this year. It is said that there are
some of the members who intend try
ing some measures with the Govern
ment control to rule that their out
ing is a necessity for it is their one
big pleasure each year. The Vet
erans' Association officers has an
nounced by bulletin to-day that the
annual outing is called off."

Peace Has Been Signed
and
Europe Is Naked
The whole of Europe has patiently waited for peace because
they are literally Naked—and they have been looking to this
country to supply them with clothing after Peace—now that the
Embargo is lifted.
Mr. Consumer, think what the above means to you —it means
that by FALL all makers of clothes will work day and night to
turn out the clothes that will be in such demand in Europe. It
also means that clothes will be dearer and higher in this country in
the Fall.
We, on the other hand, instead of waiting to take advantage of the
eoming higher priees in the Fall—and in order to keep our tailors busy
during the Summer months, we have resolved to offer FREE—absolutely
FREE an extra pair of Pants with each Suit ordered.
FREE! FREE! FREE!
Think of it —with each suit ordered you get two (2) pairs
of pants (and you only pay for one pair—one pair you get abso
lutely Free).
By getting the extra pair of pants—FßEE— you not only get
a wonderful value, but you double the life of the suit; also by buy
ing now you will save a good deal on the price, as clothes will be
higher in the FALL.
3 Piece tailored to your I
Suit M t-J Up mea,ure
made to fit; made to wear; made to give satisfaction—Made For
You Only.
Over 500 patterns to select from—absolutely all wool ma
terial guaranteed. Our selections of blue and blacks is the largest
in the State.
Mr. Man, our offer of the FREE pants will last a limited per
iod only, so we strongly advise you to buy now, while the buying
is good, besides on account of the clothes going to Europe, cloth
ing will be dearer in the Fall.
So buy now and get an extra pair of Pants Free with each
order. , "
